Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among trauma patients. The care of these patients continues to be a complex endeavor with prevention of associated complications, often requiring as much attention as that of the treatment of the primary injury. Paramount among these are venous thromboembolic events (VTE) due to their high incidence, additive effect on the risk of morbidity and mortality, and the careful balance that must be utilized in their diagnosis and treatment to prevent progression of the brain injury itself.
